So I am building a NAS with a mixture of new and used parts. At this point just waiting on the case to arrive, so I decided to test boot the system with the rest of the parts. The CPU, motherboard, and PSU are all used, and the ram and storage are new. I am using the integrated graphics with an hdmi from the mobo to my monitor. When I go to boot up the system I am greeted with the ASUS splash screen (first picture), however when I press f2 or delete as the screen instructs me to do it does not enter the bios, it just doesn't react in any way (I have tried multiple keyboards). If I let it sit for a few minutes it will eventually go to (second picture) the American Megatrends screen, and then comes the really frustrating part. When I press f1 as instructed to enter the setup my screen goes black. It just stays black indefinitely, and the monitor never times out, so it is receiving some signal, but only black. Once it reaches this state I am unable to get any video to pass video at all after multiple reboots. I am only able to get the splash sceens to display again after clearing the CMOS, and having the same result when I hit f1 to enter the setup. Specs: cpu i5-7500 mobo ASUS B150I pro gaming/aura ram HyperX FURY DDR4 2300mhz 2x 8GB kit storage 1TB Crucial 2.5" SSD psu Mute Master N380 (had this lying around, I think it's high enough wattage, but it only has a 4pin connector for the cpu. Google search said the 4pin should be sufficient for my 7500) Troubleshooting steps I've taken: 1. Removing all necessary connections 2. Removing one stick of memory 3. Cleared CMOS multiple times 4. Booted with installation media and SSD attached, but was not able to reach the installation screen 5. Ensured all cables are securely plugged in None of the debug LEDs are lit up when I boot it, except for the boot drive LED when the SSD is not connected. Not sure where to go from here. I wonder if it is trying to display to a GPU, or if the PSU is perhaps not supplying enough voltage to the CPU. I do have a gaming PC with a graphics card and decent PSU I could use to rule these out, but would like to explore other options before I go ripping that whole system apart. I also attached a photo of the setup in "testbench" form in case that is helpful at all. Any help would be appreciated thanks for reading!
